The history of the building on Prechistenka dates back to the 1790s when it was two stories tall. In 1809, Moscow merchant Milyakov rented out the second floor for a pharmacy, which became known as Prechisten Pharmacy in the 1830s. In the 1860s and 1890s, the building belonged to the well-known pharmaceutical dynasty of Forbrichers in Moscow.

In 1860, the owner of the building was pharmacist Karl Friedrich Forbricher, and in 1873 it was owned by his brother, master of pharmacy Andrei Forbricher, who obtained this degree by defending a dissertation on the preparation of pill mass.

House 6 on Prechistenka Street acquired its current appearance in 1874 when a third floor was added and the layout of the premises was changed according to the design of architect Nikolai Mikhnev. The pharmacy was located on the second floor, apartments were rented on the third, shops and residential spaces occupied the first floor, and a laboratory was in the basement. In the 1890s, the building changed ownership, but the pharmacy continued to operate.

During the Soviet era, the pharmacy on Prechistenka remained open and moved to the first floor in the 1970s, where medicines are still sold today.

The building features a unique eclectic decor on the main facade, incorporating elements of classical architecture. The facade is divided by pilasters into five parts, with a large arched window in the center of the second and third floors, adorned with stucco decor in the form of a garland of flowers and fruits. The central part of the building is crowned with an attic. The display windows on the first floor are framed with architraves featuring a keystone.

In the basements, the Monier vaults and wide arched openings have been preserved, while in the vestibule, there are fragments of ceiling stucco and wrought iron railings from the 1870s.
